The Dark Hand is an upscale international crime syndicate founded and spearheaded by Valmont. According to Captain Black, the Dark Hand has connections to every criminal activity in existence and thus is usually at odds with Section 13.
The Dark Hand's headquarters was a skyscraper located in San Francisco until Shendu was restored to full power whereupon Valmont and his Enforcers were promptly arrested. Following this, Valmont and his men relocated to the abandoned Helms Fish Cannery because the Dark Hand's financial assets were severely diminished due to the high-cost expeditions needed for the Talisman hunt, combined with Shendu not honoring his part of the deal and denying Valmont the Lost Treasure of Ching Xi Hung he promised him. The Dark Hand no longer possessed their high-tech weaponry and Valmont's hired muscle was also reduced to Finn, Ratso, Chow and Hak Foo without any of the unnamed goons seen previously.

By the start of season three, the Dark Hand was no more when Valmont was met with bankruptcy from spending more of the organization's assets on more overseas expeditions for the Demon Portal hunt. From this point on, the Enforcers were now at the mercy of whatever powerful supernatural force that (forcibly) took them in as henchmen.
Resources and Assets
The Dark Hand was a wealthy and well-connected organization equipped with resources that almost matched Section 13's. This included private jets, helicopters, limousines, hired thugs and advanced weaponry.
The Dark Hand's high-tech weapons included electric swords used by the Enforcers that could cut through solid steel. Valmont himself possessed a electric dagger stored within his cane as well as a fake tooth that drew the cane to the tooth's location when activated.
